Because she is learning a diferent way on doing the math but if you add 1\6 to 5\6 then that will be a total of 5/8 so thats why its like that.

Well,5/6 is closer to one than 5/8 is,just add 1/6+5/6 and then you get 1,adding 1/8 to 5/8 is only 6/8,so that's how you can tell how it is greater! Hope this helps your daughter!

Find p and q for which the linear eqn has infinite solutions
jekas [21]

Answer:

p= 2.5

q= 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The lines should overlap to have infinite solutions, slopes should be same and y-intercepts should be same.

Equations in slope- intercept form:

6x-(2p-3)y-2q-3=0 ⇒ (2p-3)y= 6x -2q-3 ⇒ y= 6/(2p-3)x -(2q+3)/(2p-3)

12x-( 2p-1)y-5q+1=0 ⇒ (2p-1)y= 12x - 5q+1 ⇒  y=12/(2p-1)x - (5q-1)/(2p-1)

Slopes equal:

6/(2p-3)= 12/(2p-1)

6(2p-1)= 12(2p-3)

12p- 6= 24p - 36

12p= 30

p= 30/12

p= 2.5

y-intercepts equal:

(2q+3)/(2p-3)= (5q-1)/(2p-1)

(2q+3)/(2*2.5-3)= (5q-1)/(2*2.5-1)

(2q+3)/2= (5q-1)/4

4(2q+3)= 2(5q-1)

8q+12= 10q- 2

2q= 14

q= 7

You buy 50 of your favorite songs from a web site that charges $.99 for each song. What is the cost of 50 songs?
liberstina [14]

Answer: $49.5

Step-by-step explanation: If each song costs 0.99 cents then you multiply the number of songs you are buying by the cost. So that would be 0.99×50=49.5
